LeDuc Brothers Dominate at Rockstar Energy Drink’s Lucas Oil Off Road Race in Lake Elsinore

Corona, Ca. (July 28, 2009) – Making their first appearance this
season in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, brothers Kyle and Todd
LeDuc swept the top spots in the premier Unlimited 4 and Unlimited 2
800HP truck classes. With the Lake Elsinore rounds 7&8 presented by
Rockstar Energy Drink, the Rockstar/Makita Team that also includes
family patriarch Curt LeDuc, gave fans a thrill with a dominating
performance. Rockstar Energy Drink teams also took additional podiums
with Chris Brandt racing to his first Unlimited Lite win of the season
and Brian Deegan showing strong consistency with back to back second
place finishes in U-Lite.

A Saturday night standing room only crowed witnessed spectacular
racing under the lights as the cooler evening temperatures allowed for
track conditions on the 9/10th mile off road minefield to be described
by drivers as perfect for racing.

While Kyle LeDuc showed the experience and skill of a seasoned veteran
in taking his back to back wins in U-4, class newcomer Mike Johnson,
filling in for Alan Pflueger, quickly adapted to the traction and
horsepower of the Team Renezeder prepared K&N Filters Unlimited 4. A
former rookie of the year in Unlimited 2, Johnson found himself on the
podium both Saturday and Sunday, taking home impressive second and
third place trophies.

The Unlimited Lite Championship is taking shape as the top three
drivers continue to find themselves on the podium. Brian Deegan in his
Rockstar/Metal Mulisha Unlimited Lite was poised to take his second
win of the season when Rob Naughton made an astounding pass on the
last turn to take the checkered flag. On Sunday, a disappointed
Naughton registered his first DNF of the season while
Hart&Huntington/Rockstar Unlimited Lite of Chris Brandt took the win
further tightening the class standings.

The story of the weekend in the Bully Dog SuperLite Trucks was Ricky
James. James, paralyzed from the sternum down as a result of a teenage
motocross accident, took the win in his first race ever race on
Saturday and then repeated the feat on Sunday as the SoCalSuperTrucks
Team celebrated phenomenal back to back wins. John Fitzgerald was
another notable winner as the Limited Buggy driver captured first and
second place trophies for the weekend. Winners in Unlimited Buggy were
Greg George and Mike Dondel with television host and off road race car
